Systems and methods for packaging food products, such as fruits, vegetables, and meats. Specifically, the described methods relate to systems and methods for packaging food products in a manner that increases the products' shelf life. Generally, the methods begin by providing a food product. In some cases, debris is removed from the food product. To kill bacteria and other microbes on the food product, the food product is optionally washed in ozonated water. To deactivate enzymes within the food product, the food product is heated, though not necessarily cooked or blanched. The food product is then typically sealed in a barrier package containing between about 1 percent and about 50 percent oxygen, by volume. In some cases, the sealed package is then heated to between about 165 and about 285 degrees Fahrenheit to kill microbes in the sealed package. Other implementations are also described.

This device 14 for distributing a product as a spray, comprises a distributing valve (30) comprising: a valve body (40), defining an inner chamber (52), an actuating rod (42) defining an interior distribution duct (62) that opens outside of the rod (42) via an orifice for entry (64) and via an orifice for exiting (66), with the actuating rod (42) being mobile in the chamber (52) between a distribution position and a blocking position, and a return element (44) of the actuating rod (42) to its blocking position.

The distribution device (14) also comprises a non-return valve (70) arranged inside the actuating rod (42) in order to prevent the circulation of a fluid in the distribution duct (62) from the orifice for the exiting (66) towards the orifice for the entry (64).

Methods and systems for filling a muffler body with a fibrous material prior to completing assembly of the muffler body are disclosed. The muffler body is composed of two half shells and the fibrous material is injected between the shells by a filling nozzle.
